Advice needed about buying a New Reproduction Jukebox

Raymond23 · by **Raymond23** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 5:31 pm

Don't know if this is the right place to post this since all the topics are about real antique Jukeboxes (if there is a better forum for this, please give me a link). Yes, I am quite a noob at this.

I want to buy a NEW Jukebox. Antiques are beautiful, but I do not have to time, skills or money to get one. Besides, I want to play my CD's.

Want either a Rock-Ola (Bubbler, Gazelle, or Peacock), or Wurlitzer (bubbler) 100 CD Jukebox. I am leaning towards the Gazelle or Peacock since the wood accents would look a lot better in my rec-room then the chrome.

Any advice about quality of the items? It sounds like both companies produce great products, but would like to be sure. Also, who would you buy from online that has competative prices and well respected.

Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks!

Buy a ROWE. Get the CD-RN-H model.

I appreciate the input, but please tell my WHY.

Thanks.

Rowe made the best unit for someone to service it, IMHO. You could also read the service manaul
yourself if you need to service it. The advanced error messaging is better that anyone elses. The home model is made just like a commercial unit, and has more features on the wireless remote. I have worked on Rowes since 1980 and I have a CD-RNH in my own home. I have never needed to do
anything to it but clean the lense in 9 years. If you tell me what area of the U.S. you are in, I could
help you find a place to get one.

I agree the rowe is the is the way to go.Anything else is a nightmare to get parts for and to work on.
